Come back!


it was a young kid and his mother walking down the street,
keeping on looking back for a rickshaw to take them where they wanted,
the eyes were searching for the help!
I wondered where was the help they needed?
O yes, the help they wanted, the person who could have helped their travel!
O that help was busy in Australia selling burgers at McDonalds..
And I also saw his dad some days back!
He was one handsome active man some years back!
and when I met him, he was looking
one tired man, unshaven, tired running after money for the life till now!
Where was the fun?
Where was the happiness?
Where was the family?
O it was busy with the hospitality job (waiter) in Oz, weekends with beer, occasionally to be happy with girls around !
and was he happy in real?
O yes he was happy, happy except missing mum's food, friends back home, biking around the streets of his house, flirting the indian girls, the garba (navratri)and what not!
If it is education I dont mind it!
If it is for money I dont mind it!
If it is for fun I dont mind it!
But why at the cost of little happiness of the people who love, who care, who are satisfied being the way you are!

-i might be wrong, but what I have seen till now.. neither the person who goes is talking about happiness nor the people whom he has left back are!
All they talk about is getting adjusted to the situations !
the gujju dialogue would be, " shu kari shakay have", "aavu badhu toh chalya kare, aapne kai na kari shakye", "aapda haath ma thodi che", "life no sawaal che"!

Please dont sell that shit to me or someone else, sell it to yourself if you can buy it!

If you think your so called career aka money minting is important to less money and more happiness for you and your people!
Come back!
Come back and stay together!
Stay with the family!
Stay with your friends!

* this is just a perspective which I felt on seeing the helplessness of one of the families which i am close too longing for their son, though they will never say it but anyone can feel it!*
